NCCK Uasin Gishu Officials Statement on NADCO Report as they Elect New Officials
NCCK Religious leaders in Uasin Gishu met today at ACK CBR Hall where they did reflection, analysis, and scenario-building sessions on emerging issues on the National Dialogue Committee (Nadco) report.
Reverend Solomon Chelal, the outgoing chairperson of NCCK Uasin Gishu NCCK appreciated the work of the NADCO Committee for its consensus-building initiative.
“NCCK religious leaders advocate for public participation in any constitutional changes since it has a direct impact on the Kenyan people. We are also concerned about the cost implications that come with the referendum and some of the reforms suggested by the NADCO Report, such introduction of new offices will be a more burden to Kenyans,” said Chelal while speaking to the press.
NCCK urged leaders to continue to urge peace and cohesion to be advocated for and upheld by all actors.
“The electoral justice to be reviewed after every election. NCCK recommends that during transition and implementation of this report that there be consciousness of the need of having a peaceful nation in promoting peace and cohesion,” he says.
Rev. Simon Kogey NCCK Secretary Uasin Gishu County did not agree with the proposals by NADCO aimed at amalgamating independent institutions such as the NCIC, and the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.
“While the NCCK remains largely supportive of the NADCO report, it calls for a comprehensive post-election evaluation to proactively address emerging challenges that could potentially undermine the nation’s hard-won peace and stability that is often threatened after the General Elections,” he said.
The clergy’s advocacy underscores the importance of not only addressing immediate concerns but also ensuring that any reforms contribute to the long-term well-being and cohesion of the nation.
